Red Clover is a productive, short-lived perennial or biennial legume valued for green manure, pasture, forage and soil improvement. It performs particularly well in temperate regions with reliable moisture and is well suited to areas experiencing wetter summers.
Plants produce abundant leafy growth followed by attractive pink-red flower heads, with strong production from late summer into autumn. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, making Red Clover a useful addition to diverse pasture and growing systems.
As a legume, Red Clover forms a symbiotic relationship with beneficial soil bacteria, fixing atmospheric nitrogen through its root nodules and helping build fertility for following crops. Its substantial root system and leafy biomass also contribute organic matter and help maintain soil cover.
